I was doing some testing last night on some new software - it was partly cloudy and did not seem like a good night for imaging. But the skies cleared about a half-hour before twilight, so I took a couple of 15-minute exposures of the Cocoon. The seeing was OK but not great. I added color from a low-resolution image I took several years ago with the FCT-150.

Two 15-minute exposures averaged, ST-10XME and C14 on Paramount ME.

Beautiful images, as usual Ron...

It seems as if it was a little hazy? or maybe it is just an optical illusion because of the size/detail of the DSO compared with the actual frame?


Anyways, beautiful nonetheless... thanks for sharing!
